Common questions in Froxfield Green
How do I find out if my home in Froxfield Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Froxfield Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Froxfield Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. These gutters frequently cause leaks indoors when they block, so they’re an important part of the survey. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so, based on what we can see.
About our gutter survey in Froxfield Green
We check the rainwater system above ground level, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It isn’t a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, the report will say so, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. We survey fascias and soffits, outlets and hoppers and downpipes, and people most often book us about joints that drip after rain and valley or box gutters that overflow inside.
Older buildings in small places like Froxfield Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Where we cannot see part of the gutter, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Froxfield Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Finding the cause now normally keeps the fix smaller. For an older or listed building in a place like Froxfield Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

- Package prices that include VAT
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays

Common roof problems in Froxfield Green
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter on the Green: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What insurance they carry
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we are there.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before the walls suffer.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older rural homes like those around Froxfield Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Gutter surveys in Froxfield Green: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Anyone responsible for a site like Froxfield Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
